“I am a continual student focusing on new design and the techniques of the masters and learning how to free the spirit into a right brain experience.  Color is my passion in painting.  I love my paintings to have texture, rythmn, luxurious composition, and varieties of paint application – from impasto to passages of glazes. I also draw with paint and mix different media into paint to create an atmosphere. My paintings are heartfelt and exclude excessive subject matter.  In addition they are bright, cheerful and sensitive.”
